	Game engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However extensibility is achieved, it remains a high priority in games engines due to the wide variety of uses for which they are applied.
		Game engines are used for games originally developed for home consoles as well; for example, the RenderWare engine is used in the Grand Theft Auto and Burnout franchises.
		Game engine development is a popular project amongst computer science students, hobbyists, and game developers alike.

		Then the game engine would render it as though there were individual bricks on there -- complete with dynamic shadows.
		Unreal Engine 3.0 naturally has built-in physics to handle stuff like ragdoll bodies flopping around after you shoot them, or objects with their own weight and mass that can interact with each other or roll down slopes.
		Then they used the game engine tools to extrapolate details from the complex model onto the simple one: wrinkles, bumps, ridges, you name it.

	Powered By Unreal Technology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Unreal Engine gameplay network programming is high-level and data-driven, allowing UnrealScript game code to specify variables and functions to be replicated between client and server to maintain a consistent approximation of game state.
		The result is in-game objects with all of the lighting detail of the high poly mesh, but that are still easily rendered in real time.
		Different genres of games will have widely varying expectations of player counts, scene size, and performance, so these specifications should be regarded as one data point for one project rather than hard requirements for all.

		The engine only plays a supporting role." Like the engine of a car, the engine of a game is made up of several components, some of which the user can readily see and some of which run more in the background and out of sight.
		The subject of lighting in game engines is an entire book in itself, in fact, and engine creators continually strive to achieve a more realistic look to their engine's lighting.
		A 3D game engine follows this basic rule and literally checks constantly to be sure that every moveable object in the game hasn't hit any walls or any other object that can stop it, such as a player (if a rocket is traveling toward one, for instance).

	GameSlice: Behind the Scenes of the Computer and Video Game Industry
		However, most game companies believe that developing their own technology allows them to have an edge over the competiton – whether it be a new feature, faster processing, or in many cases, simply an engine that is custom-made to their game’s specifications.
		In many cases game engines are reverse engineered (meaning a programmer will take it apart and figure out how things are done) in order to create their own technology.
		If the engine is as robust as Epic promises and if all the developers tailor the engine to their needs, I think we will see a lot of very different looking games on the market down the road.

	DevMaster.net - Torque Game Engine - Engine Details
		The Torque Game Engine (TGE) is a fully featured AAA game engine with award winning multi-player network code, seamless indoor/outdoor rendering engines, state of the art skeletal animation, drag and drop GUI creation, a built in world editor, and a C-like scripting language.
		BTW if the engine is so good, and easy to use then there would be a whole bunch of little cheesy games and crappy examples out and a whole lot more really average games, and a few cream of the crop games out.
		The engine is very well featured, the API fairly easy to understand, and the forums make up for the relatively poor documentation (as somebody who has written libraries and frameworks myself I understand the imperitive to add new features rather than write decent documentation for the existing features).

		For example, somewhere in the game logic, there will be a need to see if the user wants to move his or her position forward.
		The most important part of a 3D game engine is that it is a game engine.
		The actual game should never have components that are put into the game engine.

	GameSpy: Battle Engine Aquila Review
		Another way in which the game pulls you back again and again is through its system of branching pathways.
		The game's world, while not up to the standards of its mechanical designs, similarly offers some texture that would otherwise be missing if they played it straight.
		You'll probably be happiest when there's no land in sight, as the game's engine is loathe to properly draw it.

	Pentagram (game engine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pentagram is a Free software project to create a game engine that is capable of running Origin Systems' computer role-playing game Ultima VIII: Pagan.
		The goal of the project is similar to Exult (the engine re-implementation effort for Ultima VII); in fact, many of Pentagram developers have worked on Exult before.
		Game is barely playable in basic terms: movement, item manipulation and dialogues work, and many scripted sequences and cutscenes work as expected.
